Notes
Waiters still dress in black waistcoats and long crisp white aprons, much as they have since the place opened in 1886. The atmosphere is lively and the profiteroles in hot chocolate sauce are reason enough to come, especially if preceded by the best choucroute-and-beer combination this side of Alsace-Lorraine.

The quintessential French tea salon, the ornate Laduree was established in 1862 and looks liek someting out of Versailles. The pineapple carpacicio with lime sorbet is a signature dessert, but order just about anything on the menu to experience a confectionay epiphany.

930 - 11p

Probably the most recognized structure in the world, the Eiffel Tower was built as a temporary, decorative centerpiece for the 1889 Universal Exhibition and was only saved from deomlition because as the tallest structure in Europe (at the time), it was useful as a radio tower. Today, of course, its the very symbol of Paris, 1056 feet high and providing a 40-mile view from its observation platforms.

Tow restaurants - Altitude 95 and Le Jules Verne are located on the first and second levels, respectively.

The largest triumphal arch in the world (about 163 feet high and 147 feet wide) was erected by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his army's victories. Over the years it became the focal point for state funerals, and during WW II, both the invading Germans and theliberation of Paris parade passed beneath it.

It's the site of France's tomb of the unknown soldier and it has an observation deck and exhibition hall at the top, with photos and lithographs depicting the arch's history.

Notes
We chose Cupid to symbolize Amorino.

Small Cupid d' Amorino is an angel which comes us from Italy with a hand mirror. It has the role of softening the small pleasures of the Parisian ones, and make them in love with the Italian ices.

Our small Cupid will be able certainly to draw a greedy arrow in the hearts and to charm any palate...

Amorino chose to select its raw materials directly in Italy in the areas recognized for the exceptional and traditional quality of production.

The gelato of Amorino is thus completely natural, it is manufactured of full-cream milk, eggs, sugar and natural savours, or fruits of season, which brings to the product a single savour and a velvety texture imcomparable.

This is the big one: once the largest palace in the world and now the largest art museum. Home of the Mona Lisa and the poor armless Venus de Milo; home of IM Pei's controversial pyramid and home, all told of some 400,000 works of art; some 35,000 of which are on permanent display.

Stretching almost half a mile along the banks of the Seine, the palace began as a medieval fortress and was expanded over the centuries into a luxurious royal residence. The palace was designated a museum immediately after the revolution, and its collection was significantly expanded by Napoleon. Today the collections are divided into seven departments: Egyptian antiquities, asian and islamic antiquities and art, greek etruscan and roman antiquities, sculpture, paintings, prints and drawings, and objets d'art.
